Little gem lettuce comes in a tray containing three units, helping to preserve its freshness and quality during transport. This variety stands out for its more pronounced flavor and crunchy texture. They consist mainly of water, making up 95% of their content, which makes them particularly refreshing. They are also rich in vitamins like A and B9 and minerals like potassium, calcium, and iodine. They can be prepared in tasty salads or as a side with foods like canned anchovies, fresh cheese, smoked salmon, chopped garlic, asparagus, and tuna. A recommended trick is to add breadcrumbs if too much vinegar is used in the dressing, to absorb the excess. Afterwards, remove the bread and add a bit of oil to enhance the flavor.
